Make the most of this scholarship, use it for learning needs and increase knowledge

Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan, attended the vaccination and directly handed over scholarships to orphans due to Covid-19, at the Courtyard of SMPN 289 Jakarta, Cilincing, North Jakarta, on Sunday (9/26).

He expressed his appreciation and invited all parties to be more involved in dealing with the impact of Covid-19. One of them, paying attention to children whose parents died due to the pandemic.

"We appreciate all parties, starting from karang taruna youth organizations, community organizations, BUMD, private sector and many more. We all realize that this pandemic makes those who are exposed to be healed and have immunity, but there are also those who die leaving us to be rewarded," he expressed, as quoted by Jakarta PPID's press release.

"That's why, paying attention to children whose parents died because of Covid-19 is a reward field. Look at them as a way for us to get closer to God. So, I'm very grateful for this activity (scholarship handover)," he added.

He also encouraged all the orphans to pray for their parents, leaving a message not to give up, keep the spirit, and be ready to face the future armed with serious study and hard work. He hoped that this scholarship could be used to support their learning activities.

"Pray for them, as only the prayers of pious children will flow to them. Make the most of this scholarship, use it for learning needs and increase knowledge. InsyaAllah, you will be successful in the future and one day it will be your turn to provide scholarships for those in need," he stated.
